Arnold Kegel

Because pelvic floor muscles support the urethra, bladder, uterus, and rectum, doing kegel exercises will not only help strengthen and tone your pelvic floor muscles. It will also help eliminate and prevent diseases and health problems related to these organs. In fact, these exercises were originally developed by Dr. Arnold Kegel in the 1940s to help women with urinary incontinence or diminished bladder control.

According to reports, doing kegel exercises is extremely beneficial not only to treat and/or prevent urinary incontinence, but also in helping new moms and soon to be moms in dealing with pregnancy, giving birth, and post partum effects. Below are some of the top reasons why new moms should consider including kegel exercises as part of their exercise routines.
So here are the top reasons why you should do it:

Nearly up to 25 percent of new moms experience urinary incontinence due to stress. A small amount of urine will leak every time a new mom laughs, coughs, or sneezes. Doing pelvic floor exercises while still pregnant and right after giving birth will help prevent urinary incontinence as it strengthens the pelvic floor muscles and induces them to function properly.

Doing pelvic floor exercises is very simple. It does not even require special private places and classes to do it properly and effectively. Unlike other type of exercises, kegel exercises will not make you tired.

Kegel exercises can be done in several positions and do not require a particular position. It can be completed in any time and place, whatever you are doing. You can do kegel exercises while watching TV, cooking, driving, or talking over the phone.

Pelvic floor muscles are among the top priorities in pregnancy recovery. In fact, experts often focus on kegels and pelvic floor muscles when talking about exercise while still pregnant and after giving birth.

Neglected pelvic floor muscles after giving birth have the tendency to sag. Without proper care and exercise, it will continue to sag over time. This will eventually result in health problems with a woman’s bladder, uterus, bowel, and the organs that surround them.

Weak and unhealthy pelvic floor muscles affect your sexual experience. It may result for you and your partner not to feel anything during intercourse.

Kegel exercises are the only known exercise to keep your pelvic floor muscles toned, strong, and healthy.

Doing kegel exercises will increase the strength and elasticity of pelvic floor muscles, which will help support pelvic organs including the uterus and the baby, if you do this while you are still pregnant.

Doing Kegel exercises while pregnant will decrease the chances of injuring the pelvic floor during childbirth.

Practicing kegel exercises before and after having a baby will help you heal easily as well as maintain control of your bladder and a more satisfactory sex life.

Doing kegel exercises while still pregnant help prepare women’s bodies for the stress of childbirth.

Kegel exercises help tone and strengthen the puboccygeus muscle or the pubic muscle located inside the pelvic floor. Strengthened pubic muscles before childbirth can help the pubic area retain enough muscle tone to make childbirth easier for women.

Indeed, there are lots of benefits to why women should start doing kegel exercises now, whether they are pregnant, an elderly, or at post partum. On the other hand, to ensure you will achieve the best results, do kegel exercises properly. Seek guidance from your physician or gynecologist to know how to do kegel exercises properly. Also, make sure you do it regularly. Make it a part of your daily routine so you will not forget to do kegel exercises. Like many other type of exercises, doing it irregularly or stopping after every few weeks will not yield results.

Kegelmaster Instructions

Make sure you lubricate the vaginal area with a water soluble natural lubricant and lubricate the Kegelmaster at the tip. Place the Kegelmaster between your thighs, insert the unit into your vaginal opening until it is firmly in place. You will notice this when the Kegelmaster feels much smaller and locks into place.

Grasp your Kegelmaster firmly, you are now ready for your initial adjustment!! This is done by turning the knob at the top of the Kegelmaster counterclockwise - until the knob is no longer touching the top of the Kegelmaster and until you feel a slight pressure. This should not be uncomfortable.

NOTE: If the knob is at the top of the Kegelmaster and you don't feel any pressure from the Kegelmaster putting resistance against the vaginal muscles, then you will have to add another spring. If you have the right tension, squeeze down against the Kegelmaster. If you are easily able to clamp down with your vaginal muscles completely for thirty reps (closings), remove the unit from your vagina and change the position of the spring, moving forward one pin (see Power Spring Combinations). If you are still able to easily close down all the way, for thirty reps - after insertion, then you must move the single spring back to the rear pin (1) and add a spring to the next forward pin (2), then repeat the process.

Power Spring Combinations:

1,2,3,4, 1*2, 1*3, 1*4, 2*4, 3*4, 1*2*3, 1*2*4, 1*3*4, 2*3*4, 1*2*3*4

The ideal spring tension is determined by one's ability to close the Kegelmaster at the beginning of the exercise and become unable to close it completely at the end of 30 reps. This is not hard to do and it is a lot of fun to see how many of the springs you can squeeze for 30 reps, having difficulty with the last five. The exercise sequence starts with 3 sets of 30 reps daily. With each rep you attempt complete closure of the Kegelmaster, pausing in between each set of 30 reps for 3-5 seconds. It is recommended to work up to 6 sets of 30 reps a minimum of 3 times a week. An individual may do more sets, but it is not advisable to exceed 30 reps. A final fatigue of the muscle until the last rep is performed with very little vaginal movement is your goal. When you are finished, close the device before removing! Gently close the device, tighten the knob and slowly remove the Kegelmaster.

Ideally, use the kegel exerciser twice a day, morning and evening. For women with prolapse, it is recommended to use the Kegelmaster in the morning to start with.

For prolapse or any other medical condition, please consult your doctor before purchasing the Kegelmaster.

The Kegelmaster is cleared and deemed effective by the FDA as a medical device for incontinence.

We in no way intend to diagnose, treat or make any medical claims about the Kegelmaster.

Cleaning the Kegelmaster is simple. Use an anti-bacterial cleaner after each use. Open device, remove springs, and use a small brush to reach all areas of the Kegelmaster. Dry and store for the next use.
